Metalme Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Some pictures of my first guitar I've made. A 7-string guitar. Body of mahogany, maple neck and fretboard of rosewood. Pickups are DiMarzio Blaze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePlague Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 i love it! i sort of agreed with matt about the pickup rings when i saw it unstrung and with no pickups in it. the picture of you holding it makes me like the pickup rings a lot. only thing i would change is the fretboard. i'm a sucker for ebony.

Primal Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I agree with ThePlague... but I bet a little lemon oil or some fretboard finish from stewmac would help that out a lot. And I like the pickup rings as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 That looks like a damned Good guitar, especially for a first build. Just a few questions. How did you get the 4x3 Tuners? The rockinger site only shows 6 piece sets. Also what type of nut did you use? they all seem very short. Again. A Very nice Guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Very nice. I find the pickup rings a little flashy (padauk right?) but other than that, great job. PS: Don't sweat the fretboard, a few weeks playig will darken it down nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
